re: Hearing aid question
Posted by highpockets on 11/4/25 at 7:25 am to Weagle89

I turn 60 later this month, so yes, I am a bit ahead of most on here. About 3 years ago I got hearing aids as a Christmas gift for my wife as she was tired of repeating herself. I have tinnitus along with some hearing loss, and hearing aids don't cure the tinnitus but the hearing aids definitely help overall. I couldn't bring myself to spring for the $5000 pair the Dr's office offered so I go the Costco set for $1500 and they have worked pretty well.
I got a quote a week ago for 5100, they said those are mid tech aids. I have tinnitus and they said they can control it with the aids. Of course insurance doesnt cover so I checked the BCBS site and they offer them much cheaper through TruHearing.

I have a boomer older sister and a gen X younger sister like I am. Older sister thinks she had it tough and we somehow owe her for that. Especially after my folks died. She didn't give her kids the money she as supposed to either.

discovered the fill valve was beyond corroded. 30 dollar part, bought a braided water line to replace the copper line that I cold not get the fittings to stop leaking. Back in business, 50 dollars, it cleans better than it has for the last 5 years.

Just finished up 400 feet of govee pros. I have net and curtain lights to set up for Christmas, to go along with my 200 foot of ground lights. I leave them on white 99% of the time, I love that warm glow on the house.
Dishwasher issues
Posted by highpockets on 8/29/25 at 12:47 pm
New problem, 20+ year old dishwasher not getting any water in it. If I pour water into it, it pumps and washes dishes.
Float switch is not stuck, no blockage in the water line.
Replace or repair?

I have govee ground lights all the way around my house, and also n the back yard and on the fence. They turn on at sundown and off at sunrise. Maybe uses what 100 watts of power.
